Chapter 24 The Monster Appears

As for the time and space ninjutsu, that ferocious beast definitely couldn't do it, but Asuma's words suddenly made Uchiha Fei think deeply:

"If you can't fly, will you be able to escape to the earth?"

"There are not many people in the entire ninja world who know the time and space ninjutsu. The earth escape technique is a mainland product. There are not many ninja beasts who can awaken the earth movement technique, and the number is not too rare."

"And it's not easy to cut off Byakugan's observation ability. The best possibility is to hide underground!"

The see-through range of the Byakugan is one kilometer in radius, but if you hide underground, it will be basically difficult to see through as long as it is more than ten meters away.

If the opponent is really some kind of chakra animal that is proficient in the art of earth movement, it will be easy to build a nest more than ten meters deep underground.

"It makes sense! The other party is probably hiding underground!"

Hinata Hizashi nodded in realization, but then frowned again:

"It will be difficult to deal with it if you hide underground!"

It's not that he really can't catch the tail of this monster, but this is just a C-level mission. Hinata Hizashi doesn't want to waste too much time here. If he really wastes a few days squatting, even if he catches the so-called monster , and ultimately lost money.

Uchiha Feiyu also had a headache, and he didn't want to waste too much time on this task. Thinking of this, he turned to look at Asuma and Kurenai, and asked:

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"Hiding underground... If it's a ninja, it will definitely come out to take a breather eventually, but if it's an animal born with the art of earth walking, then I'm afraid it really won't be able to catch the opponent."

Asuma couldn't think of any good moves, but Kurenai Yuhi said directly:

"These chakra animals usually evolve from ordinary animals that suddenly gain chakra. Maybe we can look for clues in this regard!"

"It makes sense. After ordinary animals acquire chakra at the beginning, they usually become giant in size, and their intelligence slowly increases. Maybe you can ask if there is anything strange happening nearby, and you can find the monster. It’s the nest!”

Hong's suggestion is not bad, and the most important thing is that the few people have no good solution now, so naturally they can only listen to Hong's opinion.

Several people worked separately and spent half an hour summarizing the intelligence obtained from the village, and finally came up with the news.

"On the mountainside of the west mountain of the village, many large caves suddenly appeared about half a year ago, as if they were dug by some animals."

"In addition, all the animals there, large and small, also fled completely. It's very similar to the behavior of chakra animals dividing their territories after acquiring chakra."

Several people checked the information one by one, and then delineated the suspicious boundary on the mountainside of Xishan Mountain.

When Uchiha Feiyu and his party came here, they confirmed the guesses of himself and others. They did find some huge scales and paw prints here. After comparison, the paw prints were exactly the same as those at the scene of devouring humans and animals. .

In addition to the soft fist, Hyuga Hizashi, a jounin, also learned some ninjutsu with other attributes to enrich his own methods. The best one he learned was the earth escape ninjutsu - earth escape can restrain the soft fist to a certain extent. , among the Hyuga clan, anyone with earth attribute chakra will basically study it.

He casually cast an Earthquake Technique, and the whole earth trembled. At this moment, Uchiha Feiyu immediately felt a soul that was much more powerful than ordinary animals, rising from the ground.

"Be careful, the other party is coming!"

Hinata Hizashi's white eyes naturally saw the traces of the monster, and he immediately spoke to remind them. Then several people jumped onto the tree, and a lizard with golden scales and sharp claws, as big as a van, jumped from the ground. out.

To this weird lizard, the ground was like water. After the lizard jumped out, there wasn't even a hole left on the ground. It was obvious that this lizard was extremely skilled in ground walking.

"This is... a pangolin?! No wonder it has such a superb earth-escape technique!"

Hong said with some surprise. Looking closely, this lizard is indeed almost exactly the same as a pangolin. The only difference is the sharp teeth in its mouth.

Hinata Hizashi glanced at the pangolin and said to Kurenai and Asuma:

"You two, let's do it. This pangolin shouldn't be at the chuunin level yet, so it's just right for you two to train on."

"But be careful not to let it hide underground again."

"Don't worry, let me finish him off in one go!"

Asma confidently waved a pair of fist blades, jumped down from the tree, and stabbed the pangolin's head straight, but only heard a "squeak" sound, and a string of sparks erupted from the scales on the pangolin's head, leaving a white streak. print.

"What a tough armor!"

There was a look of surprise on Asma's face, and at this moment, the pangolin became furious when it was attacked. It swung its long tail and hit Asma's body with a bang, breaking it into two pieces.

With a bang, Asuma, who had split into two sections, turned into a crushed wooden pile and escaped with the Substitution Technique.

However, this guy's face was not pretty. The toughness of the pangolin's outer carapace was beyond his imagination. He could not even scrape the pangolin's outer carapace with his fist blade.

Seeing that the enemy he hit had been turned into a wooden stake, the pangolin was stunned for a moment, and then saw the pangolin retract its limbs, hugging its head and tail, and suddenly shrunk into a carapace ball.

The shell ball rumbled and rolled. The pangolin, which was the size of a van, formed a shell ball three meters high and hit Asma directly like a bomb.

"Wow wow wow! What is this? Does the pangolin have the blood of the Akimichi clan?!"

Asma barely avoided the attack of the pangolin's shell ball. Fortunately, this place was a forest, so the pangolin's shell ball could not rotate at full speed, otherwise Asma would be even more embarrassed.

Finally found an opportunity and performed a fire escape. However, the huge shell ball directly crushed out of the fire escape and almost made Asma into a teppanyaki.

Hong, who had been on the tree, narrowed her eyes. Her fiery red eyes kept staring at the pangolin until the pangolin finally got dizzy and tired and the shell ball stopped rotating, then she jumped down from the tree.

As he jumped down, Hong formed seals with his hands and cast an illusion:

"Magic-Naraku-Ken no Jutsu!"

The pangolin shell ball that was originally curled up suddenly trembled under Hong's illusion. The pangolin didn't know what horrible scene it saw, and its body that was curled up in a ball spread out, revealing its tender abdomen.

Asuma said nothing and used the Haoyan Jutsu to hit the pangolin's abdomen, and the smell of burning protein immediately spread.
